My Stepson, My Lover

I'd give this one 6 *'s -- 3 or 4, per se, and a couple of additional ones for its fascination in its mediocrity, and because of Ward and O'Quinn in the cast.

Like others here, even given its being filmed for basic cable, and not meaning to be overly-prurient, there could have been some steamier scenes between the gorgeous Ward and the hunky stepson, Morrow --- both age appropriate (often not so in this type of film), 40-ish and early 20's, respectively, and both immensely attractive. The director also could have elicited a bit more chemistry between the two.

The ending is certainly silly, but then, most of the endings of these type TV flicks have silly endings, whether the crazy neighbor or babysitter wielding a kitchen knife, or some supposed "twist," revealing a surprise turn in terms of perpetrator/motive. The former can be anticipated from a "mile away;" the latter perhaps a "half mile," which was the case here.

No pun intended - Terry ... I mean I have him coined for his role in Lost ... but of course he had done stuff before the show put him even more on the map. The Horror movies he did ... or this little known thriller (obviously made for TV) ... which fair enough is not really good by any standard we might be speaking ... still for those who are into the ... more dark and morbid stuff - not that anything explicit is being shown mind you.

It does try to stay classy I suppose .. and the ending may be a bit of a surprise ... still I am not sure this will be ... exciting enough on anyones radar ... suspend your disbelief and go with the flow ... just don't end up ... well you know once you see it ... by chance!

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I generally don't mind lifetime movies, they are a good way to pass the time on a rainy Sunday afternoon but this movie was pure crap. I remember the leading lady from Thorn Birds and the leading guy from The Young and The Restless, it's a shame they ended up with this crappy catastrophical disastrous attempt of a movie. I was embarrassed for those who starred in it.The plot was hideous and non existent, their accents were disturbing to say the least and the ending was just the worst one in history. I think this movie should inspire IMDb to start a top 50 worst movie list. To summarize my roommate, those were two hours of our lives we will never get again. Lifetime needs to do better than that movie and it was disturbing how it kept on getting crappier and crappier!!!! My goodness!!!!! This movie deserves a '-1' in my book, I hope I never cross paths with it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being from the South and having lived here all my life, it just kills me when people try to adopt a Southern accent for movies and FAIL MISERABLY!!! Rachel Ward sounds like she has a speech impediment. If you're gonna do it, do it right and nobody does in this flick. It's distracting from the sucky plot.

There are elements to this film that are eye candy, while being such a gorgeous environment, nice house, cosy cabin above a lake, horses and handsome stepson. After a whirlwind romance, a nurse ends up marrying a tycoon businessman. When her husband goes away on a business trip, she becomes lonely and bored. She falls for her stepson, who is just a rough diamond and independent from his father. Things go wrong. I thought this film had a touch of 90's that was an awesome decade, and a good story with a twist. Its pleasant to watch on a rainy evening.
